Swansea City\u2019s first team goalkeeper coach Adrian Tucker will be putting the Island\u2019s young shot stoppers through their paces during a training camp at BAA Field next month.<\/p>\n
Tucker, who holds UEFA \u2018A\u2019, \u2018B\u2019, \u2018C\u2019 and Pro licences, coached Wales\u2019 Under-16, Under-17 and Under-19 national team keepers and had a stint as manager of the Wales women\u2019s team.<\/p>\n
The clinic, hosted by the Bermuda Brazilian Football School (BBFS) from June 12 to 17, will see the 35-year-old assist in the development of Bermuda keepers aged of ten and above.<\/p>\n
BBFS CEO Cal Blankandal said bringing someone of Tucker\u2019s coaching expertise to the Island was a \u201crare opportunity.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cNow as a valued member of Brendan Rodgers back room staff Adrian\u2019s professionalism and work at Swansea City has seen him work the senior goalkeepers Dorus D\u2019Vries, Jose Moreira and current Netherlands international Michel Vorm,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe visit of Adrian, who is licensed to coach and manage an English Premier League Club (Pro licence) and holds the highest goalkeeping licences, is a rare opportunity for Bermuda. The mere fact that he is actually active on a daily basis can only benefit all coaches and players.<\/p>\n
\u201cPrior to his arrival at the Liberty Stadium, Adrian worked for over 13 years with the technical department of the Football Association of Wales.<\/p>\n
\u201cDuring this period his personal development progressed not just as a goalkeeping coach to the highest FA \u2018A\u2019 Licence Level but also to become one of only three Welsh coaches to receive the UEFA \u2018Pro\u2019 Coaching Licence.\u201d<\/p>\n
